Egyptian Middle Kingdom Alabaster Flask - Rare Form

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $250**

Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom, ca. 2040 to 1802 BCE. A teardrop-shaped alabaster flask with a long body, a narrow neck that flares outward, and a smooth, flat rim. The interior has been drilled out and slightly expanded inside the body, a sign of the skill of Egyptian artisans. Alabaster, which is a form of gypsum or calcite, soft to carve and smooth, was quarried along the length of the Nile, from Giza to just south of Luxor, and the Egyptians made its carved form famous throughout the ancient world. Size: 1.75" W x 3.25" H (4.4 cm x 8.3 cm)

Provenance: private St. Louis, Missouri, USA collection; ex private Atlanta, Georgia, USA collection
